Most of us here in CA already start charging at midnight, because of time of use power incentives. However, after using an app that showed the carbon burden of my charging, I learned that charging at midnight means I’m using relatively dirty power sources - there’s no solar at night, and the wind typically dies down.

The greenest time to charge here in Northern CA is between 11AM and 1PM, when solar production is maximum.
